Also known as interconnects, plugs, or sockets, connectors are electrical components used to link two active devices for the transmission of electric current or signals. Their basic structure comprises metal contacts, insulators, housings, and sheaths. Connectors are widely used in sectors such as metallurgy and telecommunications base stations, as well as in civil aerospace ground equipment.
Classified by application environment and shape, connectors come in various types-including circular, rectangular, and waterproof models-and are characterized by high reliability, rugged durability, and strong environmental adaptability. Their performance specifications cover electrical characteristics, mechanical strength, and environmental resilience, with circuit connections established through physical contact or cable media. Common types in the industrial sector include high-temperature connectors and RF connectors. Current overloads can cause deformation of the plastic housing and scorching of insulation materials; therefore, selecting a connector with an appropriate current rating is essential to prevent safety hazards. Yonggui Electric has reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Agibot to jointly explore the application of connectors and wiring harnesses in humanoid robots. AVIC Jonhon Optronic Technology provides supporting services to multiple commercial rocket enterprises, supplying key components such as connectors.
